Solution Overview

Problem

Displaying confidential information on a web screen may be prohibited in certain terminal environments, necessitating workers to confirm such information through alternative means, leading to decreased work efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A display control system utilizing a work terminal and a mobile terminal, such as smart glasses, where the work terminal displays an ID marker on the web screen, and the mobile terminal acquires and decrypts the confidential information using an image of the screen, displaying it on the mobile terminal's screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If confidential information is displayed on a web screen of a terminal, then work efficiency is improved, but security is compromised in certain terminal environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the confidential information display on a mobile terminal screen, which is then captured by the camera. This optical copy allows the worker to view confidential information securely without it being displayed on the web terminal screen, thus maintaining both security and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of the camera, image processing unit, and overlay display that mediates between the confidential information source and the worker's viewing needs. This intermediary allows secure viewing by processing the information through multiple stages (capture, processing, overlay) before presentation to the worker.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If confidential information is not displayed on the web screen, then security is maintained, but work efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions the display from a two-dimensional web screen to a different dimensional approach by using camera capture and overlay technology on the mobile terminal. This dimensional change allows confidential information to be accessible without compromising security on the original display medium.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by displaying confidential information only in specific regions (overlay areas) of the mobile terminal screen, rather than globally on the web screen. This localized display approach maintains security while providing targeted access to workers who need the information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If confidential information is displayed on mobile terminal, then work efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the mobile terminal perform multiple functions: it serves as both the display device for confidential information and the capture device via its camera. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated devices, thereby managing system complexity while maintaining improved work efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A work terminal (10) that displays a web screen displays an ID marker indicating confidential information in an allocation area of the confidential information on the web screen. Thereafter, smart glasses (20) worn by a worker of the work terminal (10) read an ID marker displayed on the web screen of the work terminal (10). Then, the smart glasses (20) acquire confidential information corresponding to the read ID marker from a DB that stores confidential information corresponding to the ID marker, and display the confidential information on a screen unit of the smart glasses (20).
